Hey Jed, I just found your blog and instructables while doing ongoing research for my own electric skateboard build. I thought we could share some of our research findings. please shoot me your e-mail to joshpit2003 "at" hotmail.com I'd love to shoot you some questions and explain my design. Thanks. -josh
4wd, 350 watt motors, SLA batteries, Regen brakes, 30-35mph, mountain-board. Design goal: out-perform the most expensive off the shelf skateboard in every way for less than its cost. (my build budget is 1000 bucks)
I've done a lot of site-searching and can shoot my findings your way. I've also got some questions about batteries and speed controllers. send me your e-mail, just too much to type in this box. Thanks. -josh
sorry for the long link, but Electroskate has hub-motors (actually just "Motor", only 1WD) on their new 800W but i couldn't find anywhere to purchase just the motor...thought it would be fun to have 4 of those :) looks like you might be the first one to find out. Mine isn't going to have hub-motors, just some externals w/ chain-drive.

Most everything about my design can be found by reading through this blog and its attachments. What's your design?
